Gramophone and Long Play Disc Recordings
Description
Series of dialect rcordings that include: 1)Earlier recordings of dialect speakers from the North-East of England, made by Harold Orton and others in the late 1930s as part of the Armstrong College Survey of Northumbrian Dialects, are also contained in this series. These comprise a mixture of copy and master Instantaneous discs. 2)Sound recordings of English and Welsh dialect speakers, recorded in the 1950s and 1960s as part of the Survey of English Dialects initiated by Harold Orton and Eugen Dieth. All the English and Welsh fieldwork localities surveyed were originally represented in these recordings. These are edited copies (usually about ten minutes duration) taken from original field tape recordings which, once the copies had been made, were erased and the tapes used again. These and a number of duplicate sets form the largest part of this series. 3) A small collection of commercial spoken word, instrumental and vocal traditional music recordings make up the rest of this series, along with a small number of duplicate dialect discs/samples [un-numbered], used for demonstrations/talks. 4) Duplicate (SED) sound recordings as referenced above.
